A new method for calculating average molecular weights is presented for nonlinear polymers.
In con-trast to the previous methods ofFlory and Stockmayer whichfirst calculate the …

The probability of a finite or dangling chain on an ideal polymer network has been derived
by a simple recursive scheme. In contrast to the method of Dobson and Gordon, probability …

We present a randomization procedure for computing transient solutions to discrete state
space, continuous time Markov processes. This procedure computes transient state …

Work by DE Eckhardt and LD Lee (1985), shows that independently developed program
versions fail dependently. The authors show that there is a precise duality between input choice …

… This interpretation will be used in Sections 2 and 3 to identify zero entries of R and
equality between entries. … The structure of the process revealed in Equations (13) and (14) …

We show that (i) Brownian motion conditioned to be positive is Brownian meander; (ii) tied-down
Brownian meander is Brownian excursion; and (iii) Brownian bridge conditioned to be …

Failure times of a software reliability growth process are modeled as order statistics of
independent, nonidentically distributed exponential random variables. The Jelinsky-Moranda, Goel…

Research summary: This article draws on identity control theory and a study of acquisition
premiums to explore how CEO celebrity status and financial performance relative to …

Innovation is one of the key drivers of success that a firm must utilize to develop a competitive
advantage. The ability to innovate is especially important for a firm's survival in dynamic, …

We investigate how governance structure and power influence alliance exploration strategy.
Adopting a real options perspective and the agency view, we suggest that innovation …
